ABSTRACT:
A connector assembly by which a user may detachably connect a tool (e.g. a flashlight, a screwdriver, or a chemical spray container) or a tool holder to a wall or to an article of clothing, such as a belt, or the like. The instant connector assembly comprises a hollow recepticle member, which may be interfaced with the user's clothing, and a plug member, which is interfaced with the tool or tool holder. The front face of the recepticle member is provided with an entry slot, through which the plug member is inserted. The underside of the front face is provided with a drop slot or groove, into which the plug member can be seated. Ramp portions are formed between the entry and drop slots for reliably guiding the plug member from the entry slot into engagement with the drop slot. The recepticle member also includes a slideable locking plate located therewithin. The plate is spring-biased, so as to be adapted for movement into contact with the plug member to thereby prevent the plug member from becoming accidentally unseated from the drop slot. Sufficient force may be exerted on the plug member in order to move the locking plate against the bias of the spring and, accordingly, permit the plug member to be removed from the drop slot, whereby to detach the plug member from the recepticle member via the entry slot.
